pueblo, uno de los mas sensatos y
paci6cos de Ia Isla, gracias al

a la nobleza proverbial de aque

Pero, no 10 entiende asi La

Chinese Sampans.
Correspondence Baltimore Sun.

correspondence Baltimore Sun
Looking over the side we see the
first evidence of our approach to the
Flowery kingdom, for we are sur
rounded by sampans manned by
Chinese oarsmen. These boats are
short and fat-bottomed, with the
bow looking like the snout of an alli-
gator and the stern rounding up into
two curved spars in the same fashion
as the handles of q, baby-carriage.
The boatmen stand up and propel
them by pushing the oars, the handles
of which they cross in front of them.
These boats are generally painted in
bright colors, and always have g. large
eye painted on each bow. II you ask g.
boatman why those eyes are there, he
will answer you: "No hab eye, how
can see? No can see, how can sabez !?
No can sabez, how can dor" The
boatmen don't wear much clothing,
but they make up for such lack by
wearing a cone-shaped hat from two
to three feet in diameter.

weary, having been out all day for
many preceding days and nights.
Those who had accompanied her that
evening were not, she said, ready yet
to go home, and she only wished to lie
down until they were ready. The maid
promptly took her to the bedchamber
Of the hostess, d on the bed there
the lady threw herself down in her ball
dress and was soon sound asleep.
When her friends were ready to depart
they did not see her anywhere, so sup
posed she had already gone, and not
thinking to ask the maid, who did not
know them or their connection with
the sleeper in the other room, about
the missing lady, they went off with
out her. So she slept onsoundly, and
when the last guest was gone, after l
O'Clock, and the hostess, herself tired
out, came to her room to 60 to bed,
she was amazed to find alady in a ball
dress asleep on her bed. AS every car
riage had gone away, and the hostess
having asked (as the wives OF officials
must do) many strangers, and among
them the sleeping lady, to her party
did not know the place of residence OF
her unexpected lodger, she was obliged
to let her sleep on where she found her
until morning, when, after she was
thoroughly aroused, she was much
surprised and embarrassed to find
where she had spent the night

Caught by a Clam.

The attention of several persons in
q Ragg's square restaurant, Utica, n.
Y, was attracted one evening, recently,
by the cries of some small animal in a
room adjoining, and accompanied by
an occasional thump on the floor.
Curiosity being aroused, the case was
investigated, and it was found that a
large gray rat had gotten himself into
a strange dilemma. A pile of CLAIMS
lay in one corner of the room, and in
walking over them the rat had care
lessly allowed his caudal appendage to
slip between the partially opened shells
of a mammoth bivalve. No sooner,
however, had the foreign substance
touched the clam than it closed up
with snap, fastening the rats tail as
in a. vice. Now, the rodent had no
idea of being g. clam, nor being so
closely attached to one for any length
of time. So be started off for his hole
in the wall at g. breakneck speed,
squeaiing Justify, and hustling the
bivalve after him. Unfortunately for
the rat the hole was not large enough
to admit of the clam, and the conse-
quence was that the former was I'M
able to get away, and proved an easy
victim to his human enemies.

Ten Ladies Thrown Into the River by tho
Capsizing of a Tug
New ORLEANS, La., April 14.-At l
O'Clock this morning the harbor tug
Corsair, belonging to Brown & Jones,
while coming down the river in a fog
with q pleasure party on board, ran
aground opposite the Willow Grove
coal landing five miles above the city,
and turned over on her side. There
were ten ladies on board, all of whom
were saved except one Miss Barton,
of Algiers, aged 16 years--who was
drowned. Every effort was made by
the officers of the boat to save the
young lady, but she chung to the cabin
and refused to jump, although it was
but q few feet to shoal water. The
tug cost $4,000 and was uninsured.
1t is believed that she can be raised at
small expense.

Christianity in China.

The Rev. Jonathan Crossett, who
for sev enteen years has been q mis-
sionary in China, says that ore Sec
ton of China is still untouched by the
mlssionaries-the Mongols living to
the north and west. The Mongols go
down to Lassa in Thibet as to g. Nee
ca, and evidence can be found among
them of the teachings of the early
Christians. They are the most tena-
cious as to their religion of any people
whom he had ever met. Their deity
is called Borhan, or eight" and their
belief-Lamaism-is founded upon
tenets held by all Christians. They
observe one day in every seven, and
although they worship idols they have
ten commandments similar to the
Biblical commandments, and their sys-
tenn of morals is very high.
